The White House has a email list anyone can sign up to receive. The current administration has an email they are calling the Daily 1600. I receive it. And I usually respond. I'll be posting that feedback here, among the others essays.
Re 1600 Daily, 3/28/17:
Under the section "News Reports: The Washington Post: 'Trump Moves Decisively To Wipe Out Obama’s Climate-Change Record'"
You do realize this is a damning report of the president's actions, don't you? I'm glad you included an opposing opinion piece, and from the WA Post, but I suspect this is like so many things in this administration, appropriated without really understanding what's going on.
Here's a quote from the article--the first few lines no less--had you bothered to fact-check:
"The order sends an unmistakable signal that just as President Barack Obama sought to weave climate considerations into every aspect of the federal government, Trump is hoping to rip that approach out by its roots. The president did not utter the words 'climate change' once, instead emphasizing that the move would spur job creation in the fossil fuel industry."
This is an unacceptable policy for a president, but indicative of this administration's galling sense of entitlement. One of the first executive orders "nullified a regulation barring surface-mining companies from polluting waterways". POLLUTING WATERWAYS. When is that *ever* a good thing? It's not. It's obvious, it's a fact, and yet this administration continually chooses to ignore facts.
Probably the most damning piece and what captures the heart of the administration's utter ignorance and disregard of climate change, is this part of the article: "The sweeping executive order...seeks to...remove the requirement that federal officials consider the impact of climate change when making decisions."
That is an unintelligent, non-sustainable, unethical way of going about business in the world. You are making the world--the entire world, you understand--a worse place, starting with the US. Your legacy is idiocy flaunted in the face of anyone who needs to breath air, drink water, or live on Earth.
